Orlando Pride W welcome Racing Louisville W to their own ground on Friday, 7 August, with kick-off at 23:00 UTC. The two sides sit nine points apart in the NWSL Women Group Stage table, with Orlando in tenth place and Racing Louisville occupying fifteenth in a sixteen-team competition.

Orlando carry a record of seven wins, two draws and nine defeats from eighteen matches, accumulating 23 points. Their goals column reads 22 scored and 26 conceded. Racing Louisville, having played one match fewer, stand on four wins, two draws and eleven defeats, with 14 points and a goals record of 21 scored against 34 conceded. The table places Racing Louisville in the bottom two of the sixteen-team competition.

Both sides arrive at this fixture on identical two-match losing runs. Orlando have taken 7 points from their last five matches, a sequence that includes wins over Angel City W and Chicago Red Stars W, a draw with NJ/NY Gotham FC W, and defeats to Washington Spirit W and, notably, Racing Louisville W. Racing Louisville, by contrast, have gathered just 3 points from their last five, with their sole victory in that run being the 3-2 win away at Orlando on 24 April 2026 — the only previous head-to-head meeting recorded.

Racing Louisville's recent run also includes narrow single-goal defeats to NJ/NY Gotham FC W and Washington Spirit W, as well as losses to Houston Dash W and Seattle Reign FC W.

With Orlando described as mid-table and Racing Louisville in the bottom two, the nine-point gap between the clubs reflects where each side stands in the table ahead of Friday's match.
